Das Management von Geschaftsprozessen ist seit einigen Jahren ein wichtiges - strumentarium der Unternehmensfuhrung. Dabei haben sich die im Laufe der Zeit entstandenen Konzepte und Ansatze kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt. Die effizi- te und effektive Schaffung neuer Produkte und Dienstleistungen als kreativer P- zess der Innovation ist ein uberlebenswichtiger Bestandteil der Unternehmensst- tegie. Die Informationstechnologie nimmt hier eine ambivalente Rolle ein, da sie einerseits Prozesseffizienz fordert, aber durch ihre Komplexitat oftmals den W- del erschwert. Neue Geschaftsmodelle und -konzepte erfordern flexible IT-Losungen und - wendungsarchitekturen, die sich den Geschaftsprozessen anpassen und nicht - gekehrt. Serviceorientierte Architekturen (SOA) stellen die Basis fur solche neue Losungen und Vorgehensweisen dar. Sie heben die bisher vorherrschenden, hart verdrahteten Verbindungen zwischen Systemen zu Gunsten einer flexiblen, leicht veranderbaren Architektur auf. Die vorgenommene Auflosung von Systemgrenzen ermoglicht eine starkere Verzahnung von Prozessen und Informationstechnologie. Diese enge Integration von Geschafts- und IT-Welt bietet Potenziale fur den - samten Business Process Lifecycle. Neben der Unterstutzung aller Transferschr- te, von der Design-, uber die Implementierungsphase bis hin zur konkreten A- fuhrung und der kontinuierlichen Kontrolle von Prozessen, eroffnet es auch die automatisierte Initiierung dieses Transfers. Die umfassende Automatisierung be- haltet weit reichende technologische und organisatorische Anderungen. Das - schaftsprozessmanagement der nachsten Generation wird neuartige Geschafts- delle in vielfaltiger Weise ermoglichen, ist aber zur erfolgreichen Umsetzung auf eine weitgehende automatisierte Transformation des Prozesswissens, und dabei insbesondere auf Processes to Applications" (P2A)-Mechanismen, angewiesen. Die technologischen Voraussetzungen fur diese nachste Generation der Geschaf- prozessumsetzung sind bereits geschaffen."

IT-Projekte haben in vielen Unternehmen eine zentrale Bedeutung. Sie binden Ressourcen und generieren entsprechende Kosten. Im Durchschnitt werden in Unternehmen 33 Projekte pro 1000 Mitarbeitern durchgefuhrt und pro Mitarbeiter und Jahr EUR 8.000 in IT-Projekte investiert. Von diesen Projekten werden weniger als die Halfte erfolgreich abgeschlossen.

An theoretischem Wissen respektive an der Ausbildung kann es nicht liegen. Aus Sicht der Autoren fehlt es den Projektmanagern oft an der notwendigen Reflexion, dies besonders wenn die Projekte in kritische Phasen treten. Ein Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen den Projektleitern findet vielfach aus zeitlichen Grunden nur unvollkommen statt. Hier setzen die Autoren an. Sie legen das Schwergewicht auf die kritischen Erfolgsfaktoren eines IT-Projekts. Gegliedert nach Erfolgsfaktoren fuhrt das Buch zum Thema und veranschaulicht Losungswege anhand von Beispielen aus der Praxis.

Explore the inner workings of environmental processes using a mathematical approach. Environmental Systems Analysis with MATLAB (R) combines environmental science concepts and system theory with numerical techniques to provide a better understanding of how our environment works. The book focuses on building mathematical models of environmental systems, and using these models to analyze their behaviors. Designed with the environmental professional in mind, it offers a practical introduction to developing the skills required for managing environmental modeling and data handling. The book follows a logical sequence from the basic steps of model building and data analysis to implementing these concepts into working computer codes, and then on to assessing their results. It describes data processing (rarely considered in environmental analysis); outlines the tools needed to successfully analyze data and develop models, and moves on to real-world problems. The author illustrates in the first four chapters the methodological aspects of environmental systems analysis, and in subsequent chapters applies them to specific environmental concerns. The accompanying software bundle is freely downloadable from the book web site. It follows the chapters sequence and provides a hands-on experience, allowing the reader to reproduce the figures in the text and experiment by varying the problem setting. A basic MATLAB literacy is required to get the most out of the software. Ideal for coursework and self-study, this offering: Deals with the basic concepts of environmental modeling and identification, both from the mechanistic and the data-driven viewpoint Provides a unifying methodological approach to deal with specific aspects of environmental modeling: population dynamics, flow systems, and environmental microbiology Assesses the similarities and the differences of microbial processes in natural and man-made environments Analyzes several aquatic ecosystems' case studies Presents an application of an extended Streeter & Phelps (S&P) model Describes an ecological method to estimate the bioavailable nutrients in natural waters Considers a lagoon ecosystem from several viewpoints, including modeling and management, and more

This book introduces econometric analysis of cross section, time series and panel data with the application of statistical software. It serves as a basic text for those who wish to learn and apply econometric analysis in empirical research. The level of presentation is as simple as possible to make it useful for undergraduates as well as graduate students. It contains several examples with real data and Stata programmes and interpretation of the results. While discussing the statistical tools needed to understand empirical economic research, the book attempts to provide a balance between theory and applied research. Various concepts and techniques of econometric analysis are supported by carefully developed examples with the use of statistical software package, Stata 15.1, and assumes that the reader is somewhat familiar with the Strata software. The topics covered in this book are divided into four parts. Part I discusses introductory econometric methods for data analysis that economists and other social scientists use to estimate the economic and social relationships, and to test hypotheses about them, using real-world data. There are five chapters in this part covering the data management issues, details of linear regression models, the related problems due to violation of the classical assumptions. Part II discusses some advanced topics used frequently in empirical research with cross section data. In its three chapters, this part includes some specific problems of regression analysis. Part III deals with time series econometric analysis. It covers intensively both the univariate and multivariate time series econometric models and their applications with software programming in six chapters. Part IV takes care of panel data analysis in four chapters. Different aspects of fixed effects and random effects are discussed here. Panel data analysis has been extended by taking dynamic panel data models which are most suitable for macroeconomic research. The book is invaluable for students and researchers of social sciences, business, management, operations research, engineering, and applied mathematics.
